How does IPv6 6rd work?

How does IPv6 6rd work?

IPv6 6RD (Rapid Deployment) is an IPv6 tunneling technique, similar to 6to4 tunneling. It is stateless and encapsulates IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets. On the Internet, however, there is no guarantee that those packets are routed towards a relay. 6to4 tunneling uses the 2002::/16 prefix.

1. Network Setup Prefix.
2. Prefix Length.
3. Border Relay.
4. IPv4 Address Mask Length.

How to enable 6rd on a Linux system?

To enable 6RD on a standard Linux system, you’ll first need to obtain your ISP’s 6RD parameters. (Comcast users can obtain this information from the Comcast 6RD page.) You will need the 6RD prefix and the IPv4 address of the 6RD border router.

How to configure a manual 6rd tunnel interface?

1. Create a NAT policy to NAT all outbound IPv6 traffic to the 64 bit prefix assigned with a host bit (for example, 2603:200:B647:F192::1). 2. Assign the LAN or DMZ network behind the SonicWall with IPv6 addresses with the above 64 bit prefix. This article describes how to configure a manual 6rd tunnel interface using both methods.

What do you need to know about IPv6 6rd?

Part of 6RD configuration is determining what your IPv6 prefixes will be. You will need this in order to assign static IPv6 addresses in various parts of the configuration. Your 6RD prefixes are based on your provider’s 6RD prefix and your public IPv4 address.

Do you need an ISP to use 6rd?

First, your ISP must provide 6RD connectivity. As of this writing, only a handful of ISPs are deploying 6RD, the most prominent being Comcast who is deploying 6RD in a controlled trial. Second, your home router must support 6RD. Most don’t.
